A pretty accurate snapshot of my life
LAB B
Lindsay Lewis
Concordia University, Irvine
Physics 211: Spring 2008
Instructor: Matthew Rickard
Abstract
The mean velocity of water being siphoned from a bucket at a higher elevation can be achieved by applying Bernouilli’s equation and simply plugging in numbers. In this experiment, we mimicked the act of siphoning gasoline from a parked car in a bad neighborhood by timing how long it took water from a bucket to reach the floor a few feet below through a tube, finding the velocity of that water (V2), and then calculating the exit area of the tube(V=Q/A). Not only is this lab insightful, but can be applied later in life if this whole doctor thing doesn’t work out.
